“Nobody likes you.” “You’re not good enough.” “You always screw things up.” There it is—that negative voice popping up once again. You know, the one inside your mind constantly highlighting your shortcomings, mistakes, and perceived flaws? Yeah—that. Some days it’s silent, and other times it’s so loud that it feels impossible to shut it up.

On average, I read around 200 books a year with most being romance novels. I like all the subgenres—shifter romance, historical, mafia, marriage of convenience, the list goes on. I'm a dedicated member of the romance books Reddit channel, a regular #BookTok watcher, and a fanfiction fiend who spends days searching for hidden gems in Archive of Our Own (AO3), a fanfiction library. Basically, I'm a book nerd. Have been since I was 13 and read the many One Direction fanfictions on Wattpad.

Your three-year anniversary is approaching, and you couldn’t have asked for a better partner. They’re sweet, loyal, reliable, and communicative. Sure, there are arguments here and there—different life goals, unlikeable in-laws, competing religious and political beliefs, etc.—but that’s normal. Relationships ebb and flow. Plus, if you and your S.O. survived the dreaded two-year mark (i.e. the most common time period when couples break up), then you’re destined to be together forever…right?

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."As far as astrological signs go, Geminis get a bad wrap. Yes, they can be a bit sassy and maybe a tad two-faced (Geminis are represented by twins, after all), but they’re also incredibly intelligent, curious, and talkative. There’s an abundance of talented athletes, musicians, and actors who were born Geminis, including Marilyn Monroe, Brooke Shields, and Tom Holland.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."Okay, hear me out: The astro hate for Geminis is totally unwarranted. Yes, they can be a bit sassy and maybe a tad too-faced, but they're also incredibly intelligent, curious, and talkative. And this is why it's time to stop the Gemini hate train once and for all. There's an abundance of talented athletes, musicians, and actors who were born Geminis.

Who doesn’t love the summer season? With its warm weather, longer days, and an array of outdoor activities, it is the gift that keeps on giving. Not to mention, the warm weather serves as a green light to start wearing less and making fashion statements. In the spirit of elevating your wardrobe for the summer, tending to your shoe game is an absolute must. While rocking heels 24/7 is not ideal, and flip-flops are standard for mani-pedi days, mules are a great option for your wardrobe.

TikTok is home to many things: positive affirmations, quiet quitting tips, and hot girl walks. Now, add delusional thinking to the list. Chances are you’ve heard the phrase “delulu” on the app. Some social media users are adopting a “delulu is the new solulu” mindset, claiming that being delusional can help you achieve your goals. While we may be hesitant to adopt mental health advice from TikTok—or any social media app in general—there is some truth to being delusional.

“Vanderpump Rules” and, by default, Bravo, has experienced no shortage of criticism. Many have written about “VPR’s” racial reckoning and Bravo’s long list of misdeeds. But things seemed to be looking up, as “Scandoval” propelled the reality TV show into mainstream pop culture. Unfortunately, no number of promises from the network — and the TV show — of inclusivity and diversity can stop the slew of lawsuits from former cast members, including Faith Stowers.

Not to be snob, but some of the best accessories and handbags are from luxury brands. And within the realm of luxury design, Coach is best. Perhaps we’re biased because many of our first handbags were vintage Coach classics — from the Rowan satchel bag to the North South mini tote bag. In other words, owning a Coach bag was a rite of passage for many fashionistas. Despite the rise of many handbag brands — from Brandon Blackwood to Telfar — Coach remains one of the most sought-after in the market.
